Hiking Cerro Tortuguero

My alarm sounded at 4:45 -- I don't recommend Tortuguero as a destination for sleeping in -- and I hopped out of bed, oddly alert for such an early hour. Sun rays were beginning to peek through the trees outside my room, and I could hear the roar of the surf and howler monkeys just past my window screen. Waking up in a tropical, Caribbean paradise -- it's a rough life, I tell you.
